00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through

00:00:09metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong

00:00:18almost there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call

00:00:23it terrifying

00:00:30you've got this just be yourself that's kind of the problem

00:00:53okay morning class and you're not seated because I don't have a seat ah a new

00:01:16transfer Alice Keaton right let's see there's a spot next to Charles seriously

00:01:27the charity case sitting next to Charles quiet Charles I've always had words for

00:01:38everything but in that moment I forgot them all

00:01:53Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what

00:02:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive

00:02:05influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due

00:02:10respect sir her previous school was American I highly doubt that that's

00:02:18enough she can sit here it's fine back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm

00:02:28Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's

00:02:33talking about their experience of the time

00:02:39wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it

00:02:45don't take it personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is

00:02:50getting into his pants what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're

00:03:00joking I don't find bullies attractive hey be careful we're talking about the king of

00:03:05Ashford the what his family basically own the school and the town maybe even the

00:03:12country yeah everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the

00:03:17first to get nice okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual

00:03:23decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you

00:03:29really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making out honestly I

00:03:34just think he's lonely and kind of what

00:03:41you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic

00:03:51next time read the room before opening your mouth American we're not in Kansas anymore Alice

00:04:06hey how's your first day I good I'm excited Kevin not really super

00:04:28uneventful really how's your new job yeah all right get this is that we can stay in the

00:04:35servants wing seriously hmm apparently the young master won't mind the company the young master

00:04:42this is your boss's house yeah that's not credible I mean I wouldn't call it a house

00:04:50it's a museum with better landscaping right here I'll talk to the Butler Wow rich

00:05:08people you've topped yourselves again Stephen King first edition

00:05:17breaking and entering now how American of you

00:05:30you've been paying rent here in my head try to fight it hard

00:05:46you can get up now I I'm trying wait are you serious well you said you were trying

00:06:01what is wrong with you funny I was about to ask you the same thing what are you doing in my house

00:06:10you wait your house my house my library and now apparently my unwanted guest

00:06:21ah master Charles you must be miss Alice Anne's daughter she said you'd be moving in today

00:06:27she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see I'm not actually moving in

00:06:34that so yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame you must seem quite pleased with the

00:06:41arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well for sure then absolutely not

00:06:47come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate

00:07:00I'm dead like mentally socially and actually dead

00:07:06just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails get it together Alice Keaton

00:07:19you've been I'm sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around actually no

00:07:25be the thing I need they all just let this is how baby you saved me good morning

00:07:32so is that miss Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late

00:07:53okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school

00:08:06okay if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way

00:08:14what are you doing here didn't you already leave wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my

00:08:33textbook don't flatter yourself wait since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and

00:08:44give me a ride no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who

00:08:57forced me to live in his house unbelievable

00:09:14Ashford Institute please thank you

00:09:16who needs that entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why don't just give miss Keaton a lift

00:09:26why don't just give miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's

00:09:38already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama

00:09:44asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies

00:10:00Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by

00:10:13Golding I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak wait wait

00:10:24you've actually read it quiet that's an interesting take explain

00:10:33he had the setup for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left

00:10:39the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival

00:10:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery

00:10:54it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such

00:11:01strong literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves

00:11:09so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree

00:11:24I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way

00:11:33it's not mercy it's irony how so

00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster

00:11:44Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved

00:11:48that's an interesting take Miss Keaton you still think it's a harsh critique in some ways but not

00:11:55harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize with them and the

00:12:03civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah I don't think Golding pushed

00:12:09far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending

00:12:17thank you Miss Keaton well said anyone else

00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic

00:12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book

00:12:30good literature will always divide opinion what's happening to me

00:12:43okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me

00:12:47well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles

00:12:50a what now you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's teen in years

00:12:56we're not even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one

00:13:00got rejected begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about

00:13:07not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears you were there sherry that is not what happened

00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable

00:13:24wow is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty honestly both

00:13:30but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat

00:13:42okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester

00:13:53hello hello is somebody out there oh come on

00:14:18hello is somebody out there oh come on

00:14:39Oh, shit.

00:14:47What the hell?

00:14:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?

00:14:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?

00:14:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.

00:15:03Shit.

00:15:14Ice! Alice!

00:15:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.

00:15:21She hasn't come home. I'll have it sent over.

00:15:24Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.

00:15:30Ice!

00:15:33Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. We're fine.

00:15:51We're fine.

00:15:58Ooooooh-o-o-oh-o-oh!

00:16:12Hey, Mr. Noncelon. Are ya happy with how we ended? Is it warm enough?

00:16:19Are you happy with how we are?

00:16:24What are you doing here?

00:16:29Can you get off me first?

00:16:40You're welcome I

00:16:43Didn't say thank you. I figured saving your life might only basic manners someone just dumped swamp water on me

00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite. You smell like a biology experiment

00:16:54Wow

00:16:55You should try falling out of a window and if someone's arms are getting insulted for it wouldn't recommend it heavier than you look I

00:17:04Hope you pull your shoulder

00:17:11Are you okay? No, but I will be

00:17:16Someone did this on purpose. What do you think golden boy?

00:17:19Don't worry, I can handle it. You shouldn't have to

00:17:25I'm sorry

00:17:34Sorry

00:17:36Did you just apologize to me? Don't get used to it. I wouldn't dream of it

00:17:47Alice?

00:17:48Over here

00:17:52You okay?

00:17:54Why are you drenched?

00:17:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower. Tap exploded

00:18:03Come on, let's get you home

00:18:14Alice cheating, right?

00:18:17I heard you staged the whole thing for attention

00:18:20I heard you staged the whole thing for attention

00:18:20I know how this place works.

00:18:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.

00:18:49I'll look into it.

00:18:52Charles.

00:18:54Good on you.

00:18:56Not many here would speak up.

00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in.

00:19:04That's insane.

00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?

00:19:08Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.

00:19:11Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.

00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.

00:19:23Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.

00:19:45Hey! We miss you in Paris!

00:19:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.

00:19:52But sometimes, being here means standing behind.

00:19:55And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.

00:20:00Have fun.

00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.

00:20:09The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.

00:20:16So, yeah, I didn't go.

00:20:19Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?

00:20:26Do you not believe in dignity?

00:20:32It's comfortable.

00:20:45You look like a rejected Ewok.

00:20:47This, this is not even your kitchen.

00:20:50even your kitchen. And this is not even your house, and yet you're here, dressed

00:20:54like this. Just don't, look, go away. Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed

00:20:59like that. What do you guys call it? Buzzkill? Cockblock. You're insufferable. You're the

00:21:07one cosplaying at breakfast. You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that

00:21:12tour? I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing. Why do you think?

00:21:20Where would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep. Florence, walk in

00:21:28the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian, or Tiziano, if you want

00:21:34to sound extra pretentious. Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost

00:21:39in the most confusing city on earth. Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked

00:21:47ancient people had plumbing. The final stop, Hari, the ultimate city of romance. And naturally,

00:21:56Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York. That's word for word. I told you, I've done

00:22:05this tour so many times I could run it. Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill

00:22:10for that chance. Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice. Also, I hate

00:22:17the accommodations. Aren't they all five-star hotels? Standard rooms in five-star hotels.

00:22:22No thank you. Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh? That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.

00:22:29One word of advice? Shut up. That's two words. You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying.

00:22:36You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens. And I prefer this one. Just for today. Come

00:22:43back when you've got a shirt on. Come back with normal clothes on. You didn't have to come. Don't

00:22:47tell me what I have to do. Master Charles. Roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight.

00:23:01Will you be alright sorting dinner? I've got it sorted.

00:23:08Oh, Jesus. What are you doing? Relax. I'm here to make a deal. What deal? You nearly

00:23:26gave me a heart attack. You'll survive. I'm not selling my body.

00:23:35Wow. I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me. Then what are you doing? The staff's

00:23:52off tonight. I'm buying dinner. Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...

00:24:00No. I'm... I... Jesus. Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?

00:24:07I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up. You know what? Dinner's cancelled.

00:24:13Are you sure about that? I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.

00:24:23You're welcome. Interesting combo. Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.

00:24:30It's... good.

00:24:34You're welcome.

00:24:35You're welcome.

00:24:36You're welcome.

00:24:37You're welcome.

00:24:38You're welcome.

00:24:39Was that a compliment?

00:24:40Although, I am obliged to inform you. Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian. It's American.

00:24:46And french fries, likely born in South America. You should read more. Put it down. I paid for it.

00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?

00:24:57To be fair, you make it very easy. It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.

00:25:04You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.

00:25:07I'll make sure that.

00:25:08I'll make sure that.

00:25:23Hey, Alice. It's fine. You're fine.

00:25:33911, look for your emergency.

00:25:38911, what's for your emergency?

00:25:41It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.

00:25:44Okay, miss. Hurricane's constant. Traffic's shut down. We'll get to you as soon as we can.

00:25:48Please, he's not well.

00:25:49I understand. Can you confirm your address?

00:44:53and i want to do it

00:44:54I'm sorry. Didn't see that. Then again, nobody does. Move, please. Try begging.

00:45:14You know what? Keep it.

00:45:17Poor thing. So dramatic.

00:45:24Don't.

00:45:26Excuse me?

00:45:27I warned you. Walk away, Serena.

00:45:47Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable. But one pair surprised me. In a good way. Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton. Would you mind giving us her short summary?

00:46:03She loves the sound of her own voice. Better have it.

00:46:06I couldn't stay. I couldn't wait. I thought that you should know that I would have.

00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet. Like logic and chaos. Or silence and noise.

00:46:23Different worlds. Different rules.

00:46:26At first glance, they clash. But what makes the story interesting is what happens next. Confusion. Curiosity.

00:46:36But in the end, some stories aren't about staying. And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.

00:46:43Is she still talking about the essay?

00:46:58Miss Keaton? Dramatic as always.

00:47:04Alright. Thank you, Alice. That was...

00:47:08Leah.

00:47:09Are you okay?

00:47:11A reminder.

00:47:12That good literature always stirs something.

00:47:19Hello?

00:47:20Hi, here's Alice Keaton. This is Whitmore Press. We've been following your work. We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract. Name your price. We'll make it work.

00:47:28Sorry, what?

00:47:33That's... kind of... insane. Who's behind this?

00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.

00:47:39Can... can I meet them?

00:47:43I want to. Please. Or at least tell me a name.

00:47:51Sorry, they wish to stay anonymous. So their only interest in words, not the person.

00:47:55I'd really like to meet them.

00:47:56Oh, I'm sorry for to keep them. Name was very good. I think the most generous offer we've ever given a degree right now.

00:48:02I see.

00:48:03Congratulations again.

00:48:09Have you got the interview?

00:48:10It's just an interview. I haven't gotten it yet.

00:48:12Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.

00:48:15That's iconic.

00:48:16You okay?

00:48:17Yeah.

00:48:18I'm so excited!

00:48:19It's done, Mr. Kenwood. Miss Keaton signed the contract.

00:48:22Good.

00:48:23It's a generous deal. You sure you don't want it to know?

00:48:28No. No, it's better if I stay out of her life.

00:48:38It's done, Mr. Kenwood. Miss Keaton signed the contract.

00:48:45Good.

00:48:47It's a generous deal. You sure you don't want it to know?

00:48:51No. No, it's better if I stay out of her life.

00:48:56I will be for you, babe. I'll be there in your darkest days.

00:49:05Congratulations, Alice Keaton. Go live the life you were always meant to.

00:49:15Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.

00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London Reception.

00:49:25It's all coming together beautifully.

00:49:30I've lost my appetite.

00:49:35I'll go check on him.

00:49:41What's your problem, Charles?

00:49:47Disengagement is not happening.

00:49:50It's not up to you. You know that.

00:49:52Serena, we're not doing this.

00:49:55You've changed.

00:49:57Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.

00:50:02We're not running.

00:50:03You've changed.

00:50:04Let's change what happens.

00:50:05You're not running.

00:50:19Any economists left behind this.

00:50:20You're not being murdered.

00:50:21You're not being murdered.

00:50:23Tals, you're the sponsor.

00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.

00:50:37So?

00:50:38You lied to everyone, including her.

00:50:41I protected her.

00:50:44You loved her.

00:50:47Still do.

00:50:49Let it go, Serena.

00:50:51Serena, there's no point.

00:51:02I need a favour.

00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is.

00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.

00:51:14Anything?

00:51:15No?

00:51:16She's not answering.

00:51:18The interview's almost over.

00:51:19Well, she won't just not show up.

00:51:22Something's wrong.

00:51:24Where's Alice?

00:51:26When was the last time you heard from her?

00:51:28Last night.

00:51:28She said she was prepping all evening.

00:51:34James, track someone for me.

00:51:38Wait, where are you going?

00:51:39Chill, okay?

00:51:48It won't hurt you.

00:51:50Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.

00:51:53That's it.

00:52:01Shit!

00:52:02Come back!

00:52:03I remember how men...

00:52:13I remember how men...

00:52:18I remember how I met, didn't need a second guess.

00:52:41Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice.

00:52:44Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice.

00:52:46Alice.

00:52:53You're awake.

00:52:55Where, where am I?

00:52:57A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in.

00:53:00Passer-by?

00:53:02He found you on the side of the road.

00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.

00:53:07Oh.

00:53:09The interview, what time is it?

00:53:12Easy, it's okay.

00:53:14Someone already contacted the university and sent in your writing samples.

00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.

00:53:20Wait, what, who?

00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of.

00:53:27What did you say?

00:53:29Nothing.

00:53:30I just...

00:53:32had a dream.

00:53:42Yeah.

00:53:43Did you?

00:53:44I got him!

00:53:45Oh, I knew it!

00:53:46Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.

00:53:48He's not here.

00:53:49Oh, you didn't know?

00:53:50Know what?

00:53:51He left.

00:53:52A few days ago, yeah.

00:53:53Everyone doesn't really know where he went.

00:53:54Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him.

00:53:55It's probably for the best.

00:53:56Come on.

00:53:57Alice?

00:53:58The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.

00:53:59Chaotic.

00:54:00Unexpected.

00:54:01And with his absence...

00:54:02Come on!

00:54:03And with his absence...

00:54:04Come on!

00:54:05It ended quietly.

00:54:06Oh, my God.

00:54:07Oh, my God.

00:54:08I didn't really know where he went.

00:54:09Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him.

00:54:10It's probably for the best.

00:54:11Come on.

00:54:12Oh, my God.

00:54:13I couldn't stay.

00:54:14I couldn't wait.

00:54:15I thought they used to know what I would have to hang around.

00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.

00:54:22Chaotic.

00:54:23Unexpected.

00:54:24And with his absence...

00:54:25Come on!

00:54:26It ended quietly.

00:54:27Like summers always do.

00:54:28Did you feel it from across the room?

00:54:29Did you feel it from across the room?

00:54:30Did you feel a little enchanted?

00:54:31And joining us today, the Dake's most unexpected literary phenomenon.
